Biography
Anthony Squigliaro was born in New York City, New York in 1942 to a family of Italian descent, and he became a member of the Corleone crime family. Squigliaro served as an enforcer in Joey Zasa's Little Italy crew before becoming a "made man", and "the Ant" became Zasa's personal enforcer and bodyguard. He was known to dip his bullets in cyanide, and he was a feared mafioso, following his boss everywhere as his "bulldog".

Death
On 19 September 1979, Squigliaro accompanied his boss as he raffled off a car during the Feast of San Gennaro parade in Little Italy, and he was sent to deal with Lou Pennino after Pennino insulted Zasa and began to "key" the prize car. Squigliaro warned Pennino to leave before he could break his jaw, but, as Pennino fled, Squigliaro turned to see a masked member of the religious procession pull out a lupara shotgun. Squigliaro was blasted, and he fell against a food stand, bringing it down as he fell to the ground, dead.
